This was an ok film. Some good performances however I was hoping for something a little more complex and ultimately the payoff brings nothing you will have not seen before in a horror movie. It turns into a slasher for the last 20 minutes or so which was a little annoying.

Watched it half way through and realized that I'd already watched it before. Hence, this movie isn't that rememberable. It definitely gets you thinking though and has a twisting storyline towards the end.

Shocking ending, but only because it makes no sense. I won't go too indepth since i dont want to throw out any spoilers, but there are plenty of unanswered questions at the end. You could tell the conclusion was hastily written (after an hour of extremely slow progression), the basic idea being &quot;just give it a twist&quot;, but sadly the twist doesnt make sense if you think about it. All in all I give this a 1/5. Cheap twist and extremely slow start.

Hide and Seek Reviews

First of all, I hardly recognized Dakota's adolescent self. Both DeNiro and Fanning don't seem to have much father and daughter togetherness. Although the twist at the end does explain the lapse, it doesn't quite make up for the absence of relationship. Dakota didn't show any signs of being terrified, or complicit. What we get from her is catatonia (the absent stare) most of the time. In toto, the film missed the mark. It doesn't really make it as a horror film up to Shining standards. As a thriller it does get a couple of points, but it's very slow. If anyone didn't guess who Charlie was before the end, I'd give them a medal. It wasn't a twist, it was a dead end.2/5

This is another movie that uses a weird/disturbed child being overly quiet and staring alot as 99% of its deviciveness for building tension and creating an unsettling atmosphere. It fails to do both and like most movies like it, of which there are now thousands, it pitilessly rapes the viewers love of film with its seemingly endless nothingness for the vast majority of its run-time until finally, at the end, revealing the one lazy idea that helped some schmuck of a writer convince a studio executive to make an entire movie around. Once this is done it runs its credits over its typical suspensefull score leaving you to run the violated tender regions of your soul and angrily wonder why you and so many others must waste their lives toiling away at jobs that benefit the world and get paid simple sums while mind-rapists spend multiples of millions and get paid phenominal amounts to produce such appallingly boring garbage that will be responsible for so much time lost from innocent peoples lives, taking into account the draw from the big cast and studio paid hype, that it migth just ammount to an entire wasted lifetime. This film might actuallt be guilty of wasting an innocent lifetime. Murder? Maybe not one specific victim but a little piece inside the many millions who watch this will die. Finally I must confess that against my nature, and I mean that on my honor, I spent most of this film wanting to punch Dakota Fanning in the face. You will too and that's just not right.

I just hate kids in these type of movies they are annoying! 5.7/10 This movie felt a lot like Godsend which also starred De Niro and that was a turd too:/ Dakota Fanning was annoying as hell! I might of enjoyed it more if I hadn't of known the ending before I started watching this movie. De Niro made me laugh at one part during this film which was surprising:L It's in the last 20 minutes when he calls Dakota a liar it just made me chuckle for some odd reason ahah:L This movie was better than Godsend but it was still kinda crap.

Hide and Seek, a very psychological movie in which the death of his wife props him to move to the country with him daughter who on arriving there meets Charley.. now through the movie you are at a guessing game at to who charley really is. and finding out will blow you mind! so enjoy this roller coater rid of who is who :)

This is a film that you will absolutely love the Dakota and DeNiro collaboration.

Hide and Seek: In the film DeNiro plays a widower who tries to piece his life and that of his daughter played by Dakota back together. After relocating to a new town a series of strange events begin to occur between Dkota and her imaginary friend Charlie.

The film has a surprising twist ending that you have to see to believe. A DEFINITE MUST SEE!
